Ah Kafka Rerun might try actually 
Navia is fun should probably tried to get her 
Gunbrella does like stupid dmg and it's fun
I probably gonna crown Bennet talent

Oh right and Fisch

notice ex-wife has a module
requires another run on 5-10

i mean at least it's not patriot, i guess

i need a bit better of gilded dreams for this but its pretty good already

inb4 some poor module requires a run on 7-18
i already saw i think blaze's needs something in chapter 11 and i'm not even there yet lol

I am envious of those crit stats, damn

I finally got 200 cdmg on wrio

this is my best one atm

i do need more em for the soss passive but
this is also tao's build for when i run her with bennett chev

My wrisley is 93/200 after marachusee is stacked

What is the abyss lorewise anyway
runic ether
the abyss itself or the spiral abyss
versed pawn
Well did my first abyss 12 clear last time but only 33 stars and I don't feel to sweat for 50 gems
runic ether
50 primos is 50 primos
based on lore, the spiral abyss is a massive underground city built by (likely) khaenri'ah
each "floor" is an abyss corridor which connects worlds and it leads to the abyss moon spire which then leads into the unknown
glossy latch
Whats an abyss corridor and what's the moon spire
runic ether
an abyss corridor is just what the initial floors 1-8 are called basically they are just small scale portals that lead to the moon spire which are floors 9-12
the civilization that built the city had tech advanced enough to warp matter through to specific areas rather than build direct stairways
its worth noting that they are called abyss corridor and moon spire by modern times we dont know what said civilization called these things
glossy latch
I see
runic ether
though we very much point to the spiral abyss being made by khaen'ria there is a chance that it wasnt
but khaen'ria was built underground, had incredibly high tech, and dabbled with the abyss
glossy latch
The abyss i assume is the space between worlds?
runic ether
we dont know exactly
some ppl think the abyss is a manifestation of the sea of quanta
they also keep raising more questions about the nature of the abyss
the sumeru dainsleif quest in particular
then some questions about what exactly is the abyss and what comes from it are further proposed by fontaine's archon quests

so uhh
iori's looking really good to me so far
not even a bias thing bc i like the character, his kit is legitimately good
some highlights: 30% battery, all card effectiveness buffs, hard survival, sure hit baked into his np, and crit stuff
like he's basically a souped up version of bedivere with hard survival and crits in exchange for losing the np strength buff
also his fa artwork is killer

what's her NP effects?
slow raft
6 hits, overcharge scaling earth attirbute damage, 40% chance to stun and a crit chance down
Im assuming her np generates a fuckton of stars much like a certain other servant, since she doesnt have any star generation in her kit otherwise
Oh and her 3rd append is extra berserker damage, i wonder why

Sam, Aventurine and Screwllum depend on how correct the leaks are

old galleon
she ended up ordering a roomba that travels at 288 km/h bc calculators are hard
(thankfully this is at least a skit and not something that actually happened)
anyway today's votes are gonna go to brest to keep her in the top 15
unzen's so far ahead that it's not worth voting for her or enty
so there's the results for groups a-c
d is still ongoing and looks like this
so basically so far, all of
Shinano
Hindenburg
Shimakaze
Royal Fortune
Essex
Agir
Owari
Ulrich von Hutten
August von Parseval
Cheshire
Kearsarge
Musashi
Regensburg
Taihou
Golden Hind
have secured spots in the finals
assuming the current vote holds, that list will include
Unzen
Enterprise
Implacable
Emden
Atago
then every other ship shown in all four screens get thrown into what i think is a last chance group vote
my prediction, which honestly means absolutely nothing at this point is that the three winners will end up being shinano, kearsarge, and agir
musashi getting destroyed by kearsarge in group voting kinda destroyed any hope i had for her
long tree
Huh that's a character I didn't expect to see in star rail so soon
Shub niggurath so soon?
old galleon
lovecraft making me do another double take
long tree
Yeah it's an unfortunate name who's origins are exactly what you're thinking
old galleon
yup
anyway, outside of the three i mentioned, i think only hindenburg has a realistic chance
and that's due to new skin like kearsarge
oh also that shinano swimsuit skin got re-added to skin shop with her and nj being added to permanent pool lol
i'm pretty sure shinano is as close to a lock in top 3 as possible at this point
so it'd really be agir/hindenburg/kearsarge fighting for the other spots, with maybe unzen on the outside looking in
unzen also has a bonkers skin but it was released a few months ago with no reruns so far
nj swimsuit is also up for the same reason but nj is in global hall of fame already so she's not eligible for voting

I got burnt out trying to catch up to the raids
slow raft
Wdym raids
runic ether
~~Although probably not going to buy since the five star ones cost a fortune~~
p sure these are all 4 star skins unless they said they were 5 stars?
late canopy
Skins that are for five star characters are usually all genesis crystal paid with ones for four star characters being welfare during the event period
Unless they're changing the model, character skins for five star characters that come out as part of a patch event have always been paid only
Unless you mean "five star skin" as in something fancy like Diluc's
In which case yeah, these are probably just four star skins
What I meant when I said "five star ones" was "skins for five star characters"
runic ether
ah yea i thought u meant it was like diluc's skin
late canopy
Ya the fact that even 4* skins for five star characters can only be bought with almost a tenpulls worth of genesis crystals is a bit too rich for my tastes
Esp when those genesis could potentially someday be used to be an extra 10 pull towards pity
runic ether
unless ur a ps5 enjoyer in which case u get a free skin selector (diluc skin excluded)
runic ether
some ppl were upset about it cus leakers talked about it but they did say it was part of a bundle and not free either way
late canopy
I was poking around Twitter earlier and did see some people talk about that yeah
runic ether
also though im not yet sold on xianyun. shes got really unfortunate timing
is coming right after navia and raiden and before chiori and then after her arlecchino
what a tough schedule for xianyun wanters
especially if ur a diluc main or a xiao main
late canopy
Im definitely getting her just for the fun of it cuz my stash is still pretty healthy
Just c0 though
runic ether
my stash is in trouble since i had to hit pity for chevreuse and i also went for engulfing and got thundering pulse
i got the rest of 4.3 -> 4.6 to save for arle + weapon which i should be able to get
but its risky
late canopy
Arle still c6 planned?
runic ether
nah
ill wait for more concrete stuff on her
i realize if theres anyone truly worth a c6 its yelan
just cus all her cons are broken
late canopy
c2 is my absolute max for any one 5* limited character
And even that's theoretical because I don't think I have anyone over c1 yet
runic ether
c1 is great, c2 lets her solo hydro consistently with xq level app, c3 is burst, c4 is insane for hu tao, c5 buffs her great c1 and energy regen power, c6 is c6
runic ether
legit i think yelan remains the most broken 5 star hydro
late canopy
Im pretty sure I have more than enough ER on her but I don't mind because it's so stupid comfy that she can basically get her burst back just by breathing a little
runic ether
yeah especially in aoe
can go as low as 150 er and still gets her burst back solo hydro
runic ether
yea same lol
ive had some really good rolls on her pieces shes got equipped
so im using fgm on her rn
late canopy
I think mine just has Favonius
runic ether
runic ether
its cleanly able to swap fav + fgm
still upset at that sands rolling nothing amazing but its my best hp emblem sands

the soss was for tao just as much as it was for raiden though. raiden quickbloom is secretly strong as fuck
raiden furina baizhu nahida has been really stupid
late canopy
I never really caught on with Dendro related teams except for Nilou Bloom
runic ether
probably her best team pre-c2 raiden
late canopy
It's pretty much the only dendro related team I still regularly use nowadays
runic ether
i really like dendro reactions. my only real complaint is nahida
love her story. hate her toddler look and voice
late canopy
I like it enough, I think it fits her
runic ether
yeah she is definitely the little kid of the archons but its like
idk i hate running with the child characters
they move in such an annoying way and they never reach anything
late canopy
I think it also definitely helps that her mannerisms voice-wise aren't of that of a kid at all
Oh yeah that
runic ether
maybe its cus i got used to haitham and raiden
late canopy
It can be a little jarring how all of them run with the arms spread out pose
Esp when it might not suit their personality
runic ether
I think it also definitely helps that her mannerisms voice-wise aren't of that o...
they are sometimes
such as wanting to play hopscotch with the other archons
and her voicelines being serious sometimes is jarring with her voice and how it sounds
late canopy
I play in CN which doesn't sound too weird
late canopy
Ya her CN voice is pretty tame for me
Feels very fitting for her and the things she says
runic ether
her en va much like paimon's really played up being a child or young iml
*imo
she did a good job but voice doesnt fit an archon figure i think
late canopy
Yeah I don't much like Paimon in both JP and EN
EN was fine at launch but I've noticed it getting more and more shrill as time goes on
CN Paimon is in contrast really soothing to listen to
runic ether
english paimon had a voice glitch in this latest event (maybe not a glitch?) that got ppl thinking celestia is activated lol
late canopy
runic ether
i think it works for paimon since she plays off being like a little sister to the traveler a lot better than it does for nahida
late canopy
Something mildly funny which is no fault of the game's is that while I play with CN voices, my game is still in EN and so are the dialogue boxes
So I'll hear CN Paimon refer to herself in first person but see the dialogue box having her talk about herself in third person lol
late canopy
我是派蒙!
runic ether
my leading theory: the goddess of time split into 2 beings one was paimon more closely resembling her physical form and the other venti more closely resembling her inner spirit
source: vibes
and last year's lantern rites
late canopy
The only thing I know for almost certain and obvious is that she's forgotten who she is and where she came from
Beyond that I haven't put too much thought into what she might be
runic ether
in the end it doesnt really matter i just hope she isnt secretly evil
wouldnt feel right
late canopy
I've entertained that possibility and it would only work if she genuinely had no idea the whole time
I would not want her to have known more about herself in actuality than she was letting on all these years
Since it would kind of destroy the relationship she has with the traveller
runic ether
yea and all paimon vas at least push the idea that she genuinely does come to care about the traveler and all she has seen in teyvat
late canopy
Yeah so that's why my working theory is that regardless of where she came form or who she is
She genuinely doesn't know right now
Would be the best fit
runic ether
throwing that all out for the shock twist of "oh shes actually evil and knew the whole time" would really defeat her character building
late canopy
As far as she knows she got fished out of a pond one day and now we're just going along tevyat adventures looking for our sibling cuz why not
runic ether
she is one of the only characters to know the traveler isnt from teyvat
but yea ultimately her journey with us starts innocent enough
late canopy
They way it should be
runic ether
would feel lame if there was ulterior motives for her joining us
late canopy
Yeah, do not want
runic ether
especially when there are other villainous groups that can and are more willing to do so
starting to get sussy of dainsleif when thinking about it but im willing to let them cook
late canopy
It would make sense for Dainsleif to be keeping things from us or have some other goal but we'll see
runic ether
i really want the fontaine dainsleif quest soon
caribert was so good
given the schedule it should be in 4.5?
runic ether
4.4 is back liyue
4.5 is back to fontaine
4.6 is arlecchino + new artifact domains
4.7 is clorinde + last fontaine expansion? but i heard that it may be a mondstat expansiob

Unzen
Enterprise
Implacable
Emden
Atago
this group of ships remained unchanged, so they'll be in finals
Group A
Shinano (7.77m)
Hindenburg (5.53m)
Shimakaze (2.66m)
Royal Fortune (1.60m)
Essex (1.13m)
Group B
Agir (9.29m)
Owari (3.28m)
Ulrich von Hutten (2.12m)
August von Parseval (1.77m)
Cheshire (1.57m)
Group C
Kearsarge (7.92m)
Musashi (4.55m)
Regensburg (2.62m)
Taihou (1.94m)
Golden Hind (1.39m)
Group D
Unzen (9.18m)
Enterprise (3.37m)
Implacable (3.00m)
Emden (1.48m)
Atago (1.30m)
then within each group the ships ranked 6-15 are in some other vote, not listing them all bc that would be a long list
added their vote totals, rounded to 2 places and took the floor
so for example shinano is listed at 7777k, which is 7.777m, so to 2 places i have it at 7.77m rather than 7.78
so in groups b and d, the winners won by a lot more than those in a and c, but that's because shinano had tough competition in hindenburg and kearsarge had slightly less tough, but still tough, competition in musashi, while agir and unzen had pretty smooth sailing due to their competition not being as strong
(owari is a very popular ship for an sr, especially a newly released one, but she is still an sr in a pool of URs with well established popularity, extremely popular newly released skins, or both; enty has similar competition in that regard; uvh and implacable are not very popular URs in comparison)
i also assume the general playerbase doesn't pay much heed to the asmr market bc implacable got one of those, but she still didn't get anywhere close
anyway global is never beating the horny allegations
go look up unzen's skin for more information : ^)
anyway, based on the group votes, unless something unpredictable happens, the only ones with a remotely viable chance at top 3 are
Shinano
Hindenburg
Agir
Kearsarge
Unzen
if musashi had closed the gap a bit more against kearsarge i'd include her here too, but it was a pretty big gap and she would have shinano to contend with too, for the floof lover demographic
and shinano has the advantage of a relatively recent swimsuit skin
(that just got rerun bc shinano's in the permanent pool now)
anyway i'll be pushing kearsarge all the way because it would be funny
so if it means anything, which it doesn't, the qualifiers looked more like this
Shinano (8.10m)
Agir (6.88m)
Musashi (3.87m)
......
The Rest
it's important to note that the qualifier happened before the release of either kearsarge or hindenburg's skins
both of those boosted them immensely

Not sure
glossy latch
Is she 4.0 or 4.1
summer hornet
Huh, I didn’t think she would also be Nihility
runic ether
Is she 4.0 or 4.1
2.1
summer hornet
lol
runic ether
ik what ovven was asking
hes thinking of genshin patches since genshin is in 4.x patches
summer hornet
Ahhhhh
Oh that post has been deleted apparently
Can still find reposts around but the tweet was removed
runic ether
makes sense we arent even in 2.0 yet
runic ether
she is nihili-hunt
glossy latch
But yeah she doesnt have DoTs and I dont know if she has any debuffs
Instead her gimmick is that she doesnt have energy and instead an alternative way of getting ult
glossy latch
Mmh
So yeah basically Nihility but not really
Which means her lightcone situation is gonna be fucked lmao
None of the farmable ones work
So you have to either get her signature
Or hope you lucked out and got Good Night Sleep Well
glossy latch
We know the lightcone
||It wont because it requires EHR which I dont think she likes at all||
runic ether
oh i missed the new lightcone effects
yeah rip lol
shes gonna be an expensive character
e0s1 minimum
glossy latch
Unless you got lucky and rolled a GNSW
runic ether
or u settle for a weaker lightcone
glossy latch
That lightcone works on her
runic ether
oh hmmmmm
glossy latch
Gives damage per debuff
glossy latch
I doubt itll be optimal, but its the only lightcone that gives flat damage and doesnt require DoT or EHR
Thats not a limited lightcone
Only other thing I can think of is that she comes with her own event lightcone
runic ether
uhhhh lets see
so we had 1.5 free cone
1.6 free character
2.0 should be cone
so no dice
2.1 will be a character most likely
maybe they will be nie
*nice
at least though the best part about dps characters is that they take a backseat in this game
cus 90% of the time they sure as hell wont be outdamaging an e6 qq
glossy latch
Tbh at this point its gonna be hard to sell people new characters
Theres enough released that you can have two reliably good teams already
runic ether
sparkle is the only new character from 2.0 and 2.1 that is a significant upgrade in teams since every team can use a second bronya
glossy latch
And gameplay-wise theres less difference than in genshin?
runic ether
and then just take a pick from huohou and fu xuan and luocha
runic ether
And gameplay-wise theres less difference than in genshin?
i did say that when i started hsr
genshin has better gameplay and variety in it
but hsr is still fun
if there is something i wish hsr did was make u really need to make more
since they release more characters, i had been expecting them to give us more to do with different teams
at least in genshin u dont actually have a huge character pool
like yeah its big but thats bc genshin is already in year 3
and the elemental system encourages and rewards building specific team comps
glossy latch
I think HSRs base combat is just not complex enough honestly?
runic ether
but in hsr you really do just need "sustain, buff/debuff, dps"
glossy latch
Its Trails without the parts that make Trails actually really fun to mess around with
runic ether
I think HSRs base combat is just not complex enough honestly?
i wouldnt mind this if we needed like
glossy latch
At least more than one skill would've made a big difference
runic ether
3-4 full teams
cus then at least u have to build up and play different characters all the time
or if characters matching content mattered more
pure fiction was a step in the right direction
it doesnt stop jingliu or dan heng and qq from clearing the pure fiction unfortunately
but it gives a ton of value to having herta and himeko built
its a bit of a problem that we can just ignore weaknesses and resistances since the dps characters do too much
also the sustainers sustain too well and have too much utlity already
fu xuan can allow u to be greedy on crit rate easily
my qq has 59/151 on a non-crit cone bc fu xuan gives her +12 crit rate and now her planar set is enabled without giving up on other stats
huohuo solves energy issues singlehandedly and gives enough atk to matter
luocha just generates skill points for free
glossy latch
Eh, I think that even with all that, if there was more actual gameplay, itd still be a big advantage
As it is, since you only have to decide between skill and attack
You tend to just have a routine to follow
runic ether
oh for sure but that links back to my problem of u dont have to think too hard about the content ur facing
since dps characters strong enough to muscle past content u normally would wanna swap things around for
like
why would i need acheron when she will likely not clear faster than jingliu or qq?
shes not gonna be, atm at least, tailor made for content that requires debuffs before content can be cleared
pure fiction was good
it gives life to characters like argenti himeko and herta
buuuut once u have those + jingliu and qq can still 100% clear pure fiction, why would u pull for a future aoe content clearer?
glossy latch
Ye, but I think that there isnt enough to do before combat to make that the core gameplay either
Customisation-wise the only thing you have are artifacts, where you dont have a lot of control and also every character has optimal stats
runic ether
which is fair but its fine to not have a ton to do outside of combat if the combat can at least feel varied
glossy latch
I dont think HSR is a bad game, but it lacks like really enjoyable gameplay beyond arguably sim u exactly (and only somewhat)?
I really do think having 2 or 3 skills per character would've helped a lot
runic ether
like if we felt we needed to run wind dan heng bc u need a 100% single target damage dealer
glossy latch
Because that gives you options
runic ether
and the current carries harmed it
like jingliu's blast would actually help the boss
ie: boss comes in, summons 2 towers around them that cant be destroyed and heal and buff the boss
u need a single target carry now
things like this that can get u to switch up characters
it would go a long way even if the flow is simple
or bosses that are only harmed by follow up attacks
would give a ton of life and ability to ratio topaz and jing yuan
glossy latch
Granted I might also just be mad because they did make a trails gacha and its a fucking autobattler which is even lamer
runic ether
oh actually u know what
the fact they designed hsr around being able to autobattle might have had something to do with the reason its in the state it is
at least gameplay wise
hoyo is cooking with lore + character designs outside of the xianzhou women
hanya and jingliu with nearly the same qipao + yukong and tingyun also having super similar clothing design at base
glossy latch
Plausible, but disappointing
Also yeah Genshin character design variety is not great™️
Err
Star Rail
Genshin is better
runic ether
genshin is better but not by a ton
at least we take solace in the fact that genshin is getting new character models
and genshin was a 2020 game that is only now rectifying old design mistakes
glossy latch
From what I understand its the usual issue of China much preferring specific designs compared to the west which tends to like more variety?
Which Idk why that is, but apparently thats common between games
runic ether
ganyu's new skin is basically an hsr skin
jingliu
wait this embed is ass
jingliu
glossy latch
Which is a shame honestly, I wish we had more varied designs
Like why not some robots like Svarog
glossy latch
Or yknow, non-humans who dont look human
Its a sci-fi game, why is everyone "human" or "human with one vaguely non-human trait"
runic ether
genshin is guilty of this too but again at least genshin has the excuse that it was a 2020 game that was just trying to get going
hsr had more time to cook
glossy latch
Oh well
For now Ill just keep playing HSR every once in a while for the characters at least and do the dailies in the background
runic ether
i dont think hsr is bad and if a design works it works
but like for instance, sam ||likely not being the main model we see in-game is a massive disappointment imo||
and as for genshin, since natlan is a nation of dragons, i hope we get more monsterous humanoid designs
neuvillette isnt dragon enough for me but at least his excuse is he is intentionally hiding
in natlan they have no excuse
also natlan fr better have predominantly dark skinned characters
glossy latch
I sadly doubt that
runic ether
its actually quite likely though
the natlan characters we have seen from the genshin comics are all dark skinned and the travail trailer for genshin's titular natlan character has darker skin
iansan
i expect the skin tone will be like this
rather than truly black or dark
but that is okay since its based off central america with a hint of africa
glossy latch
I mean even that'd be a step up
Plus yeah I was gonna say
Isnt it vaguely mesoamerican?
runic ether
mesoamerican and afro-latin
iansan's name i believe is a name originating from yoruba mythology
theres also tenoch which is a named character described in the lore of the "talking stick" weapon
glossy latch
That should be Aztec
runic ether
and the name xbalanque which is mayan
glossy latch
Oh the hero twin?
runic ether
also yes tenoch is aztec
glossy latch
Huh
runic ether
yeah xbalanque is the one character im excited to learn more of
bc of the name they have but also their title which is "one entombed with the primal fire"
he also directly introduces neuvillette in the official introduction of neuvillette who is a major character to all of genshin's lore
they generally have major characters introduce other major characters as well
nahida introduced wanderer
neuvillette introduced nahida
idr who introduced raiden but it was a major player from sumeru
raiden introduced zhongli
ah raiden was introduced by yae miko but this makes sense her wife introduced her
but yeah genshin has a chance to be peak with natlan
fontaine story direction was already pretty damn good
natlan being better would be great

Super short, just the first night and first day, but it was actually pretty fun! I'll buy the game once it goes on sale, and that'll probably lead to me deciding to roll for Yui or Rider in two years lol
Just based off the trailers they were the Master-Servant pair I was interested in the most
MHA collab ends with them staying in the Granblue world as well LMAO
What is that, the third or fourth group to do that so far?
Also this is way too funny
Sidekick program is literally just the flavor text game name, it's not that big a deal
They just didn't want people to level up Toga for free apparently

cleared normal mode of the new boss rush with a half-assed team
will not be able to do the same on extreme, so i'll just do that later
it's just the team i use to clear entrana ad (miyu as/necoco as/curio/aldo) with clarte in the back to meet requirements
0% chance this squad does extreme without any prep
oh lord i just checked ex5
it brings back the mythos superbosses
which wouldn't be so bad except unseen is an rng nightmare if you're fighting it at parity
good god am i not looking forward to this
funny enough the easiest condition out of all those to meet is probably the 900m damage
aldo sa trivializes it
but everything else looks annoying
the usual "can't use more than 4 party members in the final node of ex" rears its ugly head
worst part is, those three grasta you get for doing it are all absolutely fucking incredible
so i kinda have to do it lol
oh also ex4 has two other great grasta: the earth zone grasta (after 3,000 years) and a new kind of grasta that increases party damage based on the number of shadow characters in the party
so i assume we'll get the light equivalent for that one at some point

makes it easy to plan which characters you get i guess
since we know when what releases
every 2nd patch is a A Rank release which u can pretty much get guaranteed without aiming to pull to for them so u can skip the patch and safe resources for the next S Rank guaranteed
only exception here is kaleido and Echo because they are S rank but they are free to get which is nice i guess

so the last ex fight in a trial tends to have a "use at most 4 characters" condition, and as i mentioned earlier, they really ramped up the difficulty on this trial compared to the rest

aldo has his sa but he definitely doesn't need to be level 100
